Advantages In Taking A Deliberative Approach To Conflicts Of Culture
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The long-standing cultural conflicts that have permeated an otherwise civil society have been responsible for some short-sighted, ineffective resolutions to a problem that requires much more consideration to mend than the strong-arm tactics historically applied. The extent to which conflicts of culture are based more realistically within the context of intracultural composition instead of intercultural is both grand and far-reaching; that the notion of deliberative democracy stands to right the wrongs created by knee-jerk response to cultural minorities and their alleged place in society speaks of a much more ethical approach where the common denominator is moral good. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Aggressive Drivers: Safely Avoiding Their Hostility
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Aggressive drivers behave as if their presence on the road and ability to reach their destination are the only things that hold any importance; as such, they drive erratically, follow too close, honk, swerve in and out of traffic, travel well beyond the posted speed limit, flash their brights into the rearview mirror of the driver ahead of them, make unkind gestures and generally hold little respect for those who share the road with them. The object of dealing with aggressive drivers is NOT to challenge their self-given power but instead defer to their unsafe antics and get as far from them as immediately possible. Since they disregard road rules, they also ignore the potential for being the cause of an accident. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Ambrose Bierce: Animal Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Ambrose Bierce maintained that humanity mirrored many of the same characteristics as animals, stating that "in each human heart there is a tiger, a pig, an ass, and a nightingale. Diversity of characters is due to their unequal activity." It can easily be argued that Bierce's perception is quite accurate in that all of mankind has absorbed a great deal of idiosyncratic tendencies reflective of animal behavior. For example, as is mentioned in his quote, the human heart exhibits a vast array of illustrative attributes: the tiger's ferocity and independence; the pig's greed; the ass's stupidity; and the nightingale's delicacy and benevolence. Indeed, finding all of these qualities within a single individual is considerably more difficult than recognizing one or two; however, most of humanity displays a combination of all such animal characteristics at some point throughout life. The writer discusses these traits as they relate to Iago and Desdemona from Othello, Mustafa Sa'eed from Tayeb Salih's Season Of Migration, and Reginald Nwankwo and Gladys from Girls at War by Chinua Achebe.
